Does burnt hair grow back?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

View allI've recently noticed some changes around the head of my penis. Last month, I had a shiny rash that went away on its own, but the head stayed red. There are also these pink papules on the penis ring, and my foreskin has been really sticky with some white stuff inside. I wash with soap every day, but now the skin on the head has become erosive and starts peeling. Im also using coconut oil, but now even the tip is peeling. What's strange is that it doesn't itch or hurt, and theres no sore or lesion. What could be going on?
Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you experienced a self-limiting condition, such as: 1. Irritant contact dermatitis (reaction to soap) 2. Balanitis (inflammation of the penis head) 3. Posthitis (inflammation of the foreskin) To promote healing and prevent future occurrences: 1. Discontinue using harsh soaps; switch to gentle, fragrance-free cleansers. 2. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to soothe the skin. 3. Avoid excessive washing or rubbing. 4. Consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist for proper evaluation and guidance. In the meantime, maintain good genital hygiene: 1. Clean the area with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser. 2. Pat dry; avoid rubbing. 3. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to keep the skin moisturized.

My son has been having these black spots on his palms and feet lately and they're really itchy. The spots seem to be growing and they're actually under the skin, not on top. The skin over these spots feels hard, kind of like how it looks on people who do a lot of weightlifting or use shovels a lot. Plus, he sweats a lot, especially on his hands and feet. Really worried about whats going on here, any ideas?
visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
